Submit to Saved Objects

Join us in exploring the universal topics of loss and memory. Contribute your own photographs and stories of objects in memoriam and help us build an enriching collective art experience.

Please Share Your Object and Memories: Take a photograph of a unique or utilitarian object, memento or heirloom from a deceased loved one, family member or friend, and tell us how this object holds memories and stories of your deceased loved one.Close-up photographs of objects are typically more memorable than long shots, and as such you are encouraged to submit images that reveal the details of the object being photographed.

What to Submit: Please submit your photograph, the name of your object and a short description of why this item is special to you to our Facebook page, Instagram with #savedobjects, or send to savedobjects@gmail.com. Color photographs sent via email should be files that are less than 2 MB as a jpeg or pdf. Questions? Contact us at savedobjects@gmail.com.

Fine Print:The project collaborators will only publish photographs and text that are appropriate to the context of the project. All submissions will be considered for publication; however, the project collaborators have final oversight and editorial approval of what is posted to their Facebook, Instagram, or the Saved Project websites.
